Solenoid directional valves 6-way

A 6-way solenoid directional valve has six ports and is primarily used in more complex hydraulic systems where multiple functions need to be controlled simultaneously. It controls the flow of hydraulic oil through electrical actuation (e.g., solenoid valve). The valve determines the path the fluid takes—such as to different cylinders or functions—and can start, stop, or switch the flow between several different functions within the system. Thanks to its six ports, it can handle more connections than simpler directional valves, making it especially suitable for advanced and multifunctional hydraulic systems.

For complex systems

A 6-way solenoid directional valve has six ports and is often used in more complex hydraulic systems where multiple functions need to be controlled simultaneously. It is especially common in double-acting cylinders with additional connections for pressure, return, and possible pilot control. This type of valve enables advanced flow control by combining functions that would otherwise require multiple separate valves. With multiple positions, the valve can be adjusted to optimize performance, reduce energy consumption and improve system responsiveness and safety.

Applications

6-way solenoid directional valves are often used in applications where there is a need to switch between two functions without having to install dual valves, saving space and simplifying system design. Typical uses include advanced hydraulic machinery, such as in manufacturing, mobile hydraulics, and the automotive industry, where fast and reliable switching between functions is required. They are also useful in systems with complex motion patterns or where load holding combined with flow switching is needed efficiently.

Wide range of solenoids

There is a wide range of solenoids available for solenoid directional valves, with various contact configurations and voltage levels to choose from. Common contact types include Hirschmann and Deutsch, and the solenoids are available for both 12V and 24V. For specific needs, there are also solenoids for alternating current (AC) with built-in rectifiers, as well as ATEX-certified versions for use in explosive environments where special safety requirements apply.
